Abstract
En 中文
In order to produce service compositions, modern web applications now combine both in-house and third-party web services. Therefore, their performance depends on the performance of the services that they integrate. At early stages, it may be hard to quantify the performance demanded from the services to meet the requirements of the application, as some services may not be available or may not provide performance guarantees. The authors present several algorithms that compute the required performance for each service from a model of a service composition at an early stage of development. This is also helpful when testing service compositions and selecting candidate web services, enabling performance-driven recommendation systems for web services that could be integrated into service discovery. Domain experts can annotate the model to include partial knowledge on the expected performance of the services. We develop a throughput computation algorithm and two time limit computation algorithms operating on such a model: a baseline algorithm, based on linear programming, and an optimised graph-based algorithm. We conduct theoretical and empirical evaluations of their performance and capabilities on a large sample of models of several classes. Results show that the algorithms can provide an estimation of the performance required by each service, and that the throughput computation algorithm and the graph-based time limit computation algorithm show good performance even in models with many paths.
